Traditional Christmas is the Vancouver Symphony's carol night, and the Orpheum show is Sunday, December 13, 2026, at 4pm and 7:30pm. The VSO lists it at about 90 minutes, hosted by Christopher Gaze with special guest soloists and Trevor Wilson, the RBC Resident Conductor. The VSO describes the programme as your favourite carols and Christmas music and does not list the pieces. The VSO's ticket page showed Orpheum prices from about $56 to $73 across sections and ticket types for the Dec 13 concerts, fees included, on November 9. The same programme also plays South Delta Baptist Church (Dec 9), Centennial Theatre (Dec 11) and Bell Performing Arts Centre (Dec 12) if you live outside downtown. Take the 7:30pm and the evening works as a proper outing. Dinner at Hawksworth or a lighter plate at Uva on Seymour, then the Piano Lounge at Bacchus afterwards.
Book the 7:30pm Sunday show through the VSO (Orpheum seats ran about $56 to $73). Eat at Uva on Seymour or Hawksworth beforehand, take your seats by 7:25pm for the 90 minute concert, then walk to the Piano Lounge at Bacchus.
